A Christmas Message from
Miss Hazard.

Santa Barbara, California,

December 8, 1910.
Here I am, amid palms and oranges, with
giant poinsettias in splendid bloom. The
mission, with its dome-crowned towers, lies
below the garden, while birds of calm sit
brooding on the charmed waves of the Pa-
cific. From this western sea my thoughts fly
east with Christmas greetings for Wellesley.

DR. SANTY ANA'S LECTURE.

On Thursday afternoon, December 8,
Dr. Santyana of Harvard addressed Phi-
losophy 2 on "The Appreciation of Painting.''
In introducing his subject, Dr. Santyana
stated that the aesthetic value of a work of
art is only one point of view abstracted from
other values, and that this point of view is a
superficial point of view.

Opening his discussion, he said that every
picture must be "decorative." It must have
color and line, or else it would not be a pic-
ture; the stimulus must come through the
senses, the avenue through which expression
must pass. The importance of this decora-
tive and sensuous aspect of painting is great,
and involves very delicate art. The sensuous
effect of abstract colors raises an emotion
which makes us appreciate more clearly
other forms of painting; such sensuous effects
may be called technical values, and are
usually realized and recognized at the end
of one's study.

The technical side of painting was then
taken up. Dr. Santyana said that everyone
is charmed by the power of imitation, that a
representation or imitation of anything is
always pleasing. The same admiration is
produced by presenting special effects in
nature. The difficulty and the rarity of the
genius appeal to all.

These things are, of course, the values seen
by the untrained. One may, however, feel
a sympathy with an artist in his skilful treat-
ment of water-colors; this feeling is not
assthetic unless it is made so, by being merged
aesthetically. The sense of the significance,
of the richness, of the "life" behind the
representation, are assthetic values, though
they sometimes inhibit other assthetic value.
You may know, for instance, that such a
painting is a good representation of Rubens,
but not that Rubens is a good painter.

One of the chief points to be noted is the
imaginative or illustrative value of paint-
ings. Pictures bring us into a new "might-
have-been-seen" world. We see what the
artist cared for in his subject matter. The
subject and the theme gives us the spatial
relations to consider. You do not consider
the actual feet in inches of the canvas, but
the height of the actual object represented;
it is usually the actual thing the picture repre-
sents that stirs us through our imagination,
thus transferring the assthetic value to the
actual, though imagined object. Instinct
and subconscious associations must be taken
into account. For instance, we may be
pleased "morally" by a picture associated

with religion, such as one of the Virgin. This
opens the question of whether moral excel-
lence is an assthetic thing. Dr. Santyana be-
lieves that when such values are fused into
an assthetic object the consciousness of them
is assthetic. There is no absolute break in
the experience — the different values flow to-
gether. The dignity of art comes from the
non-assthetic values which have been merged
into it.

In conclusion, Dr. Santyana said that all
these "values" are valuable. We -must ap-
preciate all that has some value, although
some things are more valuable than others,
depending on circumstances.

DR. HALL'S LECTURE.

On Monday evening, December fifth, in
College Hall Chapel, Dr. Edith H. Hall of
Mount Holyoke, lectured on "Excavations
in Crete." First, she told the general meth-
ods employed by archaeologists, and then
told of the methods and the excavations of
her own party.

Dr. Schliemann, who realized his dream
of digging up Troy, burrowed away with no
apparent regard for thorough work, his only
aim being to bring Troy, buried many layers
deep, and covered by the remains of other
cities, to the light once more. On the other
hand, Mr. Evans, who led the pa.rty of
which Dr. Hall was a member, removed tin-
earth, layer by layer, carefully examining
each stratum before he went on to the next
one.

The greatest piece of excavating in the
Island of Crete was the uncovering of the
great palace of the Minoan kings. There
was an audience chamber, a throne-room,
kitchen, bedrooms, vaults and shrines, all
exposed to view again. Of course, only the
general ground plan of the palace could be
obtained, for the roof was lacking, though
in one part of the palace three stories were
still standing.

In one of the islands near Crete Mr. Evans
discovered a cemetery of the bronze age.
While the excavations were being made, the
workmen unearthed many jars of huge pro-
portions. The party was puzzled as to the
use of these, until one of them broke, and
some tightly-packed human bones fell out.
This, of course, solved the problem that had
arisen as to what was done with the bodies
of the dead in this period of Cretan history.

While working independently on one of
the other islands near Crete, Dr. Hall found
a city, high on a hillside, which was difficult
of access, and which was excavated with a
great deal of trouble.

Perhaps the most interesting objects that
were dug up by the archaeologists were the
jars of various shapes and patterns, all of
them graceful and equal in beauty to the
products of an art later than that of the
bronze age. Then, too, there were lovely
little figurines that showed much skill in
the making as well as a great deal of vigorous
action in their every line.

When we consider that hundreds and
hundreds of years have passed since the
Minoan kings built their stately palace,
and then think of the greatness of the work
that a small body of earnest men and women
have done in but a few years, it is no wonder,
indeed, that we can say, with Dr. Hall, that
"the spade has solved the labyrinth."

MRS. RICHARDS' LECTURE.

On Friday evening, December ninth, Mrs.
Ellen H. Richards lectured in Billings Hal^
on "The Sociological Significance of the
Home Economics Movement."

Mrs. Richards began her talk by speaking
of the various threads leading to what is now
known as the "Home Economics Move-
ment." This takes us back to the early
days of the New England settlers, when each
household did all its own manufacturing;
where the interest of the home lay in the
production of all the physical necessities of
life. This custom was gradually done away
by the development of factories, where man-
ufacturing was done instead. Because of the
factories, came the ciries, for every worker
meant a family. « >

In the early nineties, the conditions of
these workers, living closely in cities, began
to be investigated. First, from a philan-
thropic standpoint, a few interested leaders
sought to study ways of reaching the people
and teaching them better methods of living;
how to cook, to keep their homes clean and
attractive. Unconsciously, almost, the eth-
ical view-point crept into their efforts; the
desire to raise their standards of living, and
to teach them how to become better Ameri-
can citizens.

The next stage of devel< pment came aiong
the line of the scientific. It was realized that
the ideas of the average person are not up
with the progress of modern science; and it
seemed desirable to teach young people how
to take care of themselves in a scientific and
economical way.

It is a startling fact that ninety per cent,
of all manufactured articles is purchased
by, or under the direction of women. At the
same time, the great lack of economy in
purchasing is a deplorable fact; for there is
an infinite amount of cheap and poorly-made
material on the market. So we see that on
the women rests the science of spending, no
longer of manufacture, as formerly. We
should fit ourselves, and the women about us,
to know how to spend — to know the value of
materials.

In one line, a great advance has been made
already; we are much more aware of the
value in the science of color and form; we
are learning the "psychical effects" of well-
chosen decorations, their power in affecting
the individual. We learn that it is not money
which counts, but that we may often succeed
better with five cents than with fifty dollars.

Food, clothing, and general care are im-
portant problems to be studied, for they
mean health, and therefore happiness. Yet
these should be studied with a view to econo-
nTy, for far more important is the social,
ethical side of life. To-day we are trying to
instil that idea into the public-school edu-
cation— that there is more to life than a mere
economic problem. There is an opportunity
for the social regeneration of American society,
through such changes in the educational
ideal. The object of life is not to exist eco-
nomically, but to enjoy — that is, to radiate
one's personality. We ourselves are the
products of the "homes of to-day, whose ob-
ject is the bringing up of children in a right
environment. We are being educated to
have control over our environment; to
choose the best things in life.

Vacation is upon us again, and the News
makes the most of its opportunity to put
aside its usual hypercritical sensitiveness to
college venialities and wish you all the best
of Merry Christmases. What we mean by
"the best" we are not quite sure; whether
it be a Christmas of plum pudding and end-
less festivities, of joyous giving, of quiet
home life, or perhaps of recreation in the
out-of-doors — it is hard to decide, so we
leave to you the choosing. However, no
matter which, let it be of the kind that will
bring you back with a sense of freshness to
your work, with a new vigor and spontaneity
that will carry you triumphantly, without
sense of strain, through the closing days of
the semester. A vacation that fails in this,
a vacation that brings you back to college
more weary and jaded than on leaving, is no
vacation at all; it is rather an ill-balanced
reaction from the wearing discipline of
work. An overflow of animal spirits may be
expected, but let it find its outlet in a healthy,
sane way. Let us all feel that when we re-
turn in January, we are bringing back our
share of the New Year's spirit and enthusi-
asm with which to carry on the work and
progress of our Alma Mater.

At six o'clock on Sunday morning, Novem-
ber 20, at the little flag-station of Astopva,
Count Leo Tolstoi died. He died excom-
municated by the church, feared by the
government, but loved by the people. He
had lived for seventy-five years a troubled
life, full of conflict and struggle, of nobility
and unrest. His life was full of activity, and
its influence is a lasting one. Prince Kro-
potkin. in estimating Count Tolstoi's influ-,
ence, said, some time ago, that his influence
had been, and would continue to be, very
wide and deep, upon religious, moral, eco-
nomical and political thinking. His last great
work, " The Resurrection," has fixed atten-
tion, not only in Russia, but also in England,
France and the United States, upon the
question of the adequacy and justice of the
present system of criminal punishment.
"War and Peace" has had a deep and far-
reaching influence for peace, in the painting,
on the stage, among the novelists, and even
in the daily press of Russia. In other words,
it was and is a very vital factor in formu-
lating the hearty repulsion which the Rus-
sian people as a whole have for war.

"Anna Karenina" gave a new and power-
ful impetus to the populist movement.
Through it Tolstoi became the flag-bearer
and representative of all those thousands of
men and women who carry on, in the vil-
lages of Russia, their modest work of the
enlightenment of the peasants. Doctors,
nurses, teachers, all find in Tolstoi's writing
the inspiration which causes them to start
village schools, libraries, sanitary stations,
theaters, school gardens and farms. "In
this respect," says Prince Peter Kropotkin,

'Tolstoi's influence is even deeper and wider
than the influence which Rousseau ever
exercised in France."

Tolstoi's influence in religious matters is
less concrete, but his teaching, "Not the
words, but the sense of the gospels," has had
much to do with the rapid growth of the Non.
conformist movement in Russia.

In "What is Art?" Tolstoi emphasizes the
necessity of a higher moral inspiration in true
art. Much of what he says is deplored or de-
nied by the critic, but Tolstoi's influence
toward a higher, freer life for the individual
remains in this as in all his other works.

It is easy to understand the veneration and
love in which Tolstoi is held in Russia; less
easy to estimate clearly the power of his
great personality; but easiest of all, perhaps,
to sorrow at the loss to the world of a great,
struggling, loving life.

AT THE THEATERS.

Shubert: "The Passing of the Third Floor Back." Forbes-Robert-
son in Mr. Jerome's modern morality play, for its first appear-
ance in Boston. Exceptional in idea and acting.
Castle-square: "The Love Route."
Hollis: "The Bachelor's Baby."

"The Bachelor's Baby," at the Hollis-street Theater, which
presents Francis Wilson both as author and star, is said on all sides
to be the longest, cleanest and merriest laugh in Boston. This
merry comedy-farce, with Mr. Wilson in his original role of Thomas
Beach, the child-hating bachelor, goes into the third and last week
of its engagement at the Hollis, Monday night. "The Bachelor's
Baby" is a wholesome farce with a laugh in almost every line, and if
one wishes an evening of delightful amusement, it would be difficult
to find anything at the local theaters more entertaining. Next week
will be the last of Mr. Wilson's engagement, and the only matinee
of the week will be given on Saturday.

Park: "Seven Days." A well-acted farce, of conventional struc-
ture and mechanical stage-tricks.

Tremont: "The Spring Maid." Christie MacDonald in a pre-
tentious and carefully-staged production of a new musical
comedy.

Colonial: "The Old Town." Cleanly- written musical comedy
with two favorite stars, Montgomery and Stone.

The many-sided talents of David Montgomery and Fred Stone
have never been so cleverly displayed as in their performances of
"The Old Town," which is in the midst of a successful season at the
Colonial Theater, Boston. Fred Stone, with his partner, Mont-
gomery, keeps the performance of "The Old Town" moving rapid-
ly every minute that it runs. George Ade and Gustav Luders have
given Montgomery and Stone an excellent basis of characterization,
humorous situations and tuneful music. They must be praised for
most of the other qualities which go to make "The Old Town" the
most entertaining musical show of the year. The engagement of
Montgomery and Stone at the Colonial Theater has been extended
to include Christmas Eve, Saturday, December 24. Matinee per-
formances are announced for Wednesday and Saturday afternoons
of the final fortnight.

Boston: "Katie-Did." A "musicalized" and "vaudevilled" edi-
tion of an old-time popular farce.
Majestic: "Billy."

Herrick, Copley square, Back Bay, has the best seats for all
theaters. Telephones, 2329, 2330, 2331, Back Bay.

MIDYEAR EXAMINATIONS.

Office of the Dean.

All students who wish, at the coming examination period, to
remove conditions or deficiencies or to take examinations for ad-
vanced standing, must make written application to the Dean for
permission before January 15. (See Official Circular of Informa-
tion B III, 2.) These applications should be made on blanks

PROVIDED FOR THE PURPOSE. THESE WILL BE FOUND IN THE REG-
ISTRAR'S Office.

Attention is called to the fact that this regulation applies to
those cases in which it is proposed to remove the condition or de-
ficiency by a paper. Cards of permission to present such papers will
be sent out at the same time as cards of admission to examinations.

no student will be admitted to examinations to remove
conditions or deficiencies or to examinations for advanced
standing, unless a card of admission is presented, signed by
the Dean.

Students making application for admission to examinations for
advanced standing must enclose the written permission from the
Dean authorizing preparation for such organizations.

If the examination for which application is made is one requir-
ing a fee, this fee must be enclosed with the application. (See
Official Circular of Information B III, 4 and 5.)

N. B. Hitherto it has been the policy to return the fee paid
for an extra examination when the student did not take the exam-
ination. IT HAS NOW BEEN DECIDED THAT THE STUDENT WILL NOT
BE entitled to the return OF the fee unless the change of plan
is reported to the Dean's office before the cards of admission to the
examination have been issued. These cards are issued a week or
ten days after the applications are received. The notification of
change of plan must reach the office within a week of the time at
which the applications for extra examinations are due.

Unless informed to the contrary, a student will understand that
her application has been granted, and the card of admission will be
sent through the resident mail after the schedule of extra examina-
tions has been arranged.

1912's JUNIOR PLAY.

It was with a great deal of interest that the new students and
their hostesses, the members of the Class of 1912, convened at the
Barn on Monday afternoon, December 5, 1910, to witness 1912's
first ambitious undertaking in the dramatic line. Nor was their
interest without cause, for the performance was finished and de-
lightful.

It is not our purpose to discuss the [play itself, because it is
not a Wellesley product. Suffice it to say that "A Royal Family,"
by R. Marshall, though in no sense a strong or an unusual play,
has an undoubted charm of setting, clever lines and humorous and
attractive situations. The character drawing in it, however, is,
for the most part, weak and inconsistent and there were many odds
to be fought against in producing it. Nevertheless the play was
admirably presented, the production showing the result of excellent
training, with careful attention to minute details. We wish to
make especial mention of the scenery, which for Barn scenery, was
certainly remarkable. The success of the production as a whole
was due in a very large degree to the excellent work of Mrs'. Edward
Hicks, the "coach" of the play.

Regarding the acting, there was no one part which stood out
as being particularly well presented with reference to the others,
perhaps for the reason that there was no character in the play
itself, which especially predominated. However, the acting as a
whole, was perhaps the more praiseworthy on this account, because
it was evenly well done.

As the Princess Angela, Alice Paine Twas very charming, her
voice and facial expression being especially pleasing. She seemed
to have had a keen realization of the role of the girlish princess
and to have caught in a large measure its spontaneity and freshness,
and its pathos. Playing opposite to her in the somewhat stereo-
typed role of the crown Prince of Kurland, Marjorie Sherman did
much to relieve the character of its lifelessness and commonplace-
ness, bringing into it a great deal of fresh young vigor and enthu-
siasm.

Dorothy Summy was exceedingly good as the nervously
unsteady King Louis VII of Arcacia, her voice, mannerisms, and
movements possessing a great deal of realism. Mary Hume ac-
complished considerable by way of bringing order out of chaos in the
inconsistent role of the Cardinal. Her voice work was especially
commendable. The difficult part of Father Anselmjwas played with
great feeling and intensity by Effie Kuhn, though she was at times
oppressingly somber and a trifle effeminate.

The two comedy roles, that of the haughty but sensitive
Dowager Queen, and that of the irascible, bombastic and suspicious
Baron Holdenson, were admirably taken by Helen White and
Mary Gorham, respectively. Both were entirely free from that
tendency to overdo the comic, which is the pitfall of the average
amateur comedian.

Florence Talpey played the part of Queen Margaret with
dignity and reserve, though the role was considerably beneath her
abilities. The petulant and spoiled little Prince Charles Ferdinand
was excellently and naturally presented by Dorothy Henderson.

The minor parts also were all well and unobtrusively pre-
sented.

The committee to whom so large a share of the credit for the
success of the performance is due, is as follows: Ida Brooks,
Chairman; Elizabeth Hathaway, Ruth N. Henderson, Dorothy
M. Schmucker, Grace F. Slack, Edith Sackett.

I.

Early in the fall, some upper-class girl made a protest against
the inadequate arrangements made for the filling out of schedules.
We Freshmen feel that we have cause to protest, on about the same
grounds, against the inadequate arrangements made for delivering
Tuesday themes. Previous experiences have been somewhat un-
comfortable; but that of this week certainly showed the need of
some radical reform.

There are five hundred of us to get themes into that one little
cabinet, which, at the most, is not more than four feet by three.
Situated in nearly the darkest corner of that corridor, with the best
light possible, it is none too easy to locate the proper place for one's
theme, but when there is a crowd ten feet deep around it, the
task is next to impossible. Besides this difficulty, the capacity
of the cabinet is entirely too small for so large a number — as choked
slots testify. It may be argued that we need not all go at the
same time, but yet we are strongly urged to attend chapel, and the
time between that and nine o'clock leaves little choice. Both the
position and the capacity of that cabinet seem unreasonable. If
nothing better is done, can't some one suggest something which
we may do, as a class, to alleviate the difficulty?

A former editor of the News, Miss Marie Warren, writes,
in reply to a recent "Free Press" on the subject of the art treasures
of the college, that information regarding these may be obtained
by any one who desires to know about them, from the bound
volume of the News for 1906. This contains a number of short
articles giving the main facts about all the interesting possessions
of the College.

THE DOLL SHOW AND GENERAL AID FAIR.

The Shakespeare House was a pleasant combination last Satur-
day afternoon of conviviality and money-making. In one room
was a gay exhibit of dolls, the future Christmas gifts to the children
of Denison House, who, by their condescending to appear to us,
brought in large sums of money toward furnishing a Christmas
dinner for their prospective owners. To add to this pastime, the
guests were also the charmed spectators of a one-act farce, "Mose,''
in which the college hero as its central interest, called forth much
applause. The committee for the "Doll Show" had by their
persevering efforts "drawn from the hard hands of mortals," a
great number of these gaily dressed dolls, and some home-made
candy added to the cheer of the occasion. The very successful
committee was as follows: Helen Slagle, 191 1, Chairman; Ruth
Stafford, 1911, Marian Schumaker, 1913, Thelma Burbeck, 1914,
Helen Robertson, 1912, Helen Batcheler, 1912, Grace Slack, 1912.

In still another part of the house, the General Aid Fair thrived
with equal success. Here fancy-work, tea-room packages, Christ-
mas cards, food of different kinds and other tantalizing objects
begged effectively to be purchased. Kathleen Crandall presided
over the tea room and Ying Mei Chun, 1913, held command over
various interesting Chinese objects. The committee for this fan-
was: Josephine Little, Chairman; Hazel Cowan, 191 1, Elizabeth
Bryant, 1912, and Helen Paul, 1913.

THE PHI SIGMA MASQUE. *

On the afternoon and evening of December tenth, 1910, and
the afternoon of December twelfth, the Phi Sigma Fraternity
gave its annual Christmas reception and masque, at the Phi Sigma
fraternity house. The house was attractively decorated in honor
of the season, red lights shedding a Christmas-like glow over the
whole. On Saturday afternoon, the president and vice-president
of the fraternity, Miss Myrick and Miss Speer, received with Miss
Bates, Miss Montague, and Mrs. Thompson; on Saturday evening
Miss Myrick and Miss Speer received with Miss Brooks, Miss
Batcheldor, and Miss Manwaring, and on Monday afternoon
with Miss Scudder and Miss Manwaring.

The reception was followed in each case by the very charming
masque, "The Hildre," taken from a Scandinavia legend about
the evil charm which failed because it was overcome by the spirit
of Christmas. The masque was written and acted by members of
the Phi Sigma Fraternity, and accompanied by original music
composed by Gladys Platten, Allene Power and Elizabeth Robinson.

ALLIANCE FRANCAISE.

The Alliance Francaise held its Christmas meeting on Monday
evening, December 5, at Tau Zcta Epsilon House. The brilliantly
decorated Christmas tree was surrounded at its base by a multitude
of attractive-looking parcels, which were distributed among the
guests as presents. After hot chocolate was served, an enormous
Christmas cake, decorated with French flags, was cut in the presence
of all.

The main feature of the evening was a game, the object of
which was to guess the names of the best books of many well-
known French authors. Two prizes were awarded for the best
guessers and two as consolation prizes.

The books represented were as follows : "Paulet Virginie," B.
St. Pierre, Evelyn Keller and Bonita Ferguson; "Les Miserables,"
V. Hugo, Dorothy Deland, Marion Loker and Christine Curtis;
"Fables," La Fontaine, Alice Butler; "La Sorciere," Sardou, Caro-
lyn Nash; "Les Lettres de Mme. de Sevigne," Irma Ingraham;

VESPER ADDRESS.

The vesper address on December 6 was made by Dr. David
Starr Jordan, president of Leland Stanford University, and was on
"War and Manhood." Dr. Jordan said that we were rid of all legal-
ized murder with the exception of war. War, he said, seldom
originated with the people, but was stirred up by politicians aiming
to direct attention from themselves or from reformers, or often by
the yellow journalists. The speaker then pointed out America's
special duty in regard to the peace movement; all her border line
troubles for almost the last hundred years have been settled by ar-
bitration, and she is regarded as a leader.

Dr. Jordan showed up the various evil results of war: The
frightful war debt that oppresses the European nations who are in
the clutches of the "unseen empire of credit," represented by the
Rothschilds and other bankers; the horrors and sorrows that come
in its train, its background of cowardice and vulgarity, against which
the isolatedVases of manly courage, show up only "in the lurid light of
burning cities." War leaves the inferior and unfit men at home, and
kills off the best of the race, thus preventing its best development.
"War devours always the best," and "the dullest are left behind,"
quoted Dr. Jordan.

In closing, he referred to the tremendous cost of war. and
spoke of Benjamin Franklin as the first man in our country to see
that wars are not paid for in war time, but that the bills come in
time of peace.
